estate out of the lusitania tragedy there has arisen an interesting though purely theoretical point of law it concerns the estate of the late mon tague tassell grant he left a will bequeathing his entire estate in trust for his wife but his wife was with him on the lusitania when the ship was sunk and the two are believed to have died together the suggested question is if the two did not die at the same moment then who died first that question would affect the disposal of the property for if both died at once the presumption of the law would be that the woman being the weaker died first
